• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

On a routine shift, a miner is exposed to something...different. The company doctor says it's just in his head, and he's right, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. There may be a Workman's Comp claim here. See what you make of it read "The Black Spot."
"The Black Spot" is a VERY short speculative flash fiction, and is also available in the collection "Still Even More Things I Could Get OUT OF MY MIND."
It's so short that it might not show up in a standard preview, so here's a little of it:

I must have gotten it on my thumb...
